i'm totally exhausted and have the hangover from hell... one should remember not to mix moet and tooheys new in rapid succession, back and forth, back and forth // so, yes, the launch of fbi went outrageously well. at 11am there were no fuckers there, by midday - as the poppers went pop - there was no room to swing the proverbial kitty, rammed to the rafters we were. kicked off with a newly recorded fbi version of 'turn up yr radio' by the masters apprentices featuring the talents of sarah blasko, spod, front end loader, tony baggsmen, micheal upshot and dave mccormack - a fine rockin' party tune with a suitably sexxxie rrrrrrespectfull breakdown from the spod boy. ben lee did a rousing anti-corporate speech then tucked into the studio for a wee duet with juanita from waikiki (below) //



so the world wuz rocked after all and now fbi's live on air 24-7 across sydney on 94.5FM. just need to get the bastarding streaming sorted out and we'll be well away +++ big rrrrespect to my good lady wife-to-be who celebrated the occasion by baking a dalek cake. photos to follow :-)

here's a couple of tasty bootlegs to download, courtesy of PPM // his beatles bootleg is particularly fine (essentially a rmx of a day in the life), plus check out 'hell nations' - a delicious little mash-up feat. white stripes vs madison avenue (much better than it sounds). click here and scroll to foot of the pg.

it all happened so fast, such a heady blur ::: but here's the documentary evidence from an interview session earlier today. yup, me and blondie, uh-huh, stu + debbie harry... yup, it was a gas.

to quote an old 'young ones' gag - "so what's new?" ... "well, microchip technology, that's new." yes, yes, yes +++ here's the latest application for such technology. hidden chips inside yr favourite supermarket products that help CCTV to snap yr picture as you buy ... and then track your movements throughout the store. anti-theft device, or a convenient way to find out exactly who buys what and how? more here from the evening standard and indymedia uk.

devo
get with mr muscle ::: those hallowed art rockers from yesteryear have sold their track 'whip it' to none other than proctor & gamble to use in their ad campaign for 'swiffer' cleaning product. got it? "swiff it good" etc etc ... more.

it seems the poor bleeting sheep passing themselves of as 'talented individuals' on australian idol are in for a rum deal if they manage to secure the top slot - a six figure debt for life. awww, shame... this new aus version of the tried and tested brit formula is even more mawkish and more repulsive than the original - startlingly surprising as simon cowell isn't even it. pray for the death of the franchise before this bohemoth of bland kills all that is glorious about the three minute pop song. grrr arrrg.

as a counter motion to such things, i've added some new artists in the mp3 linxxx section ::: hands aloft for action biker (sweden), mellmac (france), noriko tujiko (japan) & spilsbury (germany). that's right bruvvers.

we had the broadcasters' launch @ fbi last night. click here for some partyish imgs ::: eff bee, aye.

paul aka 'satan luvs u' has an uncanny knack of sending me heaps of viral shit via email, most of which involve "hilarious" ribald tales of scotsman, dogs and vibrators shaped like iMacs. here's today's meme, the old 'virtual bubblewrap' gag - hugely satisfying i have to say.

but to play fair and to show that satanluvsu is not the only culprit, here's three imgs circulated from matt, yesterday - all of which you'll probably receive a dozen times, but are still charming nonetheless :-)


"2 generations of white trash"


"sith army knife"


"another lame star wars gag"

nurse, the screeeeeeenzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!

snoop's upside your head
// had the misfortune to catch snoop doggy dogg's mtv show the other day - boy, did that suck. the doggfather is way off his game. not that he was generally ever on it ::: was ploughing through 'best of death row records vol.2' last week (office copy, natch) and was horrified to discover just how much tupac, snoop et al really sucked. compare their kind of tunes with what's happening now and it sounds so lame. compare tupac with someone like dizzie rascal (a damn fine album) and, man, you know someone's gonna get slapped down hard. anyway, enough of this bitch talk, here's some hilarious allegations about the doggboy himself ::: thesmokinggun.com

so we've moved house, away from the stupefying normality of balmain to the relatively more interesting locale known as erskineville (or 'erko' to the neighbours, apparently). i'm absolutely aware of the fact that all of this will mean relatively little to anyone reading this, but hey you've got to share yr news, spread yr love, la la la. work continues apace at fbi 94.5fm, my wonderful, gorgeous employer and sydney's newest, raddest, spectacular radio station. three weeks until we're on air (friday 29th august, noon, aus eastern time!). still no streaming sorted out but hopefully sooner rather than later.

on the ipod dis week ::: prince paul's 'politics of the business', various alt.hip-hop dudes 'urban renewal program', quannum 'solesides greatest bumps' and some german band called kraftwerk with their latest elpee 'tour de france soundtracks'. my how my world wuz rocked.

and uk hipsters who own phones with polyphonic ringtones might be cookahoop to learn that we've added 'train' and 'strict machines' ringtones to the goldfrapp site. even if you don't have such a futurist item, check out the preview mp3s - hilarious...
